Learn how to play your favorite songs with Capo

Filed under: Audio, Utilities, Macintosh, Education

Tired of using other people's lame tablature to learn how to play your favorite songs, if you can even find a tab at all? Would you rather just figure out the music yourself? Well then, Capo is the Mac app for you. Drop an audio file from hard drive into it, and it will slow down the music so you can figure out how to play it. Everything takes place with one simple, beautiful window.

Capo has a lot of other neat tricks that make learning a song easier. One of the best features is looping a selected part of the song, so you can focus in on the bits you're having trouble with. Playback speed and pitch are adjustable, and you can drop handy markers for verses, choruses and the bridge, so you don't have to scroll through the song to find the part you're looking for. Sure, it's a tool that's designed to do one thing, but it does that one thing extremely well.
